Kristian Fashion Sensibility

Two weeks ago, as I was walking to the bus stop, I was approached by the San Francisco Chronicle photographer, Mike Kepka. He writes the style column for the Sunday edition of the newspaper. Struck by my debonair attitude, Kepka took a few shots of me and asked my opinion on style. “We are surrounded by a sea of ill-fitting suits” was the best quote that I could come up with at...

Stop SOPA and PIPA

(source: Wikipedia) (Source: Google Homepage) The Hansen Report is rarely about politics. Although, I may voice my feelings over policy from time to time, it is a monumental moment when I feel that I need to shout my opinion. Right now its time to ROAR and RAISE HELL! Our inalienable rights as citizens in the United States are under attack by twisted lobbyists from the music and movie...

kristianpickles: Its been a very dry winter here in Sonoma. There was no rain in December and there has been an utter lack of remorse from the rain clouds this January.

Tilling and Cover Crops

One of the most important things that you can do in preparation for the coming year’s crop is to till the soil. Every year you take nutrients out of the earth and give them to your harvest. Its important to use the off-season (in my case the winter) to grow a cover crop and return nitrates to the soil content. Today the area I plan on seeding next spring was tilled. Brian tilled the...

This is rad. The video I was in about 8 months ago for Duncan Quinn is making the rounds over at HypeBeast. Fast forward towards 1:45 to see me with a giant beard and shaved head. Thanks to Paul Stone at Drop Culture for making it all happen. Follow him @dropculture.

Of the hundred plus hackers in...

How to Find Druid Heights in Muir Woods

It was recently published in the Marin IJ that some folks are attempting to get Druid Heights registered as a National Historic Site. The property itself already lies within a National Park, but its falling apart. Many of the properties on the five acre parcel are dilapidated. Only a few people still live in the area and this is through a living-easement (no one else is allowed to live there...

Couple of Odd Ones Born on November 4th

Walter Cronkite - famed news anchor Kathy Griffin - comedian (not that funny) Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid dude) Matthew McConaughey (In lots of bad love/humor/chick flicks) Sean “P.Diddy” Combs - rap dude Jesse Camp (from Total Request...
